Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-675:
-------------------------------------
As Marvin points out, quick micro-benchmarks are great to have. But other effects only show
up when things get very large. So I think we need at least two baselines: micro and macro.
> Lucene benchmark: objective performance test for Lucene
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-675
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-675
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki
> Assigned To: Grant Ingersoll
> Attachments: LuceneBenchmark.java

> We need an objective way to measure the performance of Lucene, both indexing and querying,
on a known corpus. This issue is intended to collect comments and patches implementing a suite
of such benchmarking tests.
> Regarding the corpus: one of the widely used and freely available corpora is the original
Reuters collection, available from http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/theo-20/www/data/news20.tar.gz
or http://people.csail.mit.edu/u/j/jrennie/public_html/20Newsgroups/20news-18828.tar.gz. I
propose to use this corpus as a base for benchmarks. The benchmarking suite could automatically
retrieve it from known locations, and cache it locally.
